Massive chemical attack in Syria reported

I was listening to a radio interview with a spokesman for Médecins sans Frontières this afternoon. Same info they provided here: >350 dead, with 3600 more treated. Symptoms as seen and as described by eyewitnesses are “fully consistent” with neurotoxin effects and there has been little to no variation in eyewitness accounts. Thus with over 4,000 affect people, it’s almost certain this was a chemical attack and not some conspiracy theory (as the Russians are suggesting). A former national security council member said this development means the United States is likely to conduct punitive air strikes, at a minimum, on the units directly responsible for the attack, if identified definitively.
